How To Lighten Your Hair Without Damaging It

With these tips you can lighten your hair naturally. It’s very easy!

There are a variety of products on the market that you can use to lighten your hair. However, most of them contain chemicals that are harmful to your health and the environment as well. But there are other options too. Today we’re going to show you how to lighten your  hair  without damaging it.

They are natural means that you can use to bring life and shine to your hair without the need for  harsh products. Read on to learn more about it.

What happens when I lighten my hair?

The hair consists of three parts. First, there is the cuticle, which is made up of keratin cells. It protects the inside of the hair and thereby also influences the shine and color of the capillary fiber.

There is also the fiber layer (cortex), which consists of cortex cells and keratin. The medulla is located on the very inside. This is the central part of the hair, where the natural pigments and the sebum glands are located. The structure is permeable and gives the hair texture.

Lightening reduces the color intensity of the hair, which has a direct effect on the pigments. The combination of hydrogen peroxide and the brightener release active oxygen, which attacks the pigments. The result is lightening, which depends on the original pigmentation of the hair.

In order for dark hair to become intensely blonde, the procedure must be repeated several times. However, lightening with chemical products is very aggressive. For this reason, one should be careful with it in order to avoid negative consequences. The more often you lighten your hair, the more damage it can cause.

How you can lighten your hair using natural means

If you want to lighten your hair while avoiding damage, here are some great tips that will make your hair shine at the same time.

1. Lighten hair with chamomile tea

Chamomile tea is one of the most common products used to lighten hair. That is why we name it here in the first place. The lemon is also an aid that makes the hair lighter. In combination, the two ingredients are unbeatable when you want to lighten your hair.

Bring two glasses of water to a boil in a saucepan. Then add two bags of chamomile flowers. Then place in the refrigerator and then add the juice of half a lemon.

Apply to damp hair using a spray bottle and atomizer and leave on for about 20 minutes. Perform at least twice a week for perfect results.

If you want even more intense results, you can mix your shampoo with chamomile extract. This makes washing your hair even more effective. There are also products that already contain chamomile extract.

2. Mask with lemon, egg and beer

First, beat the egg white into egg whites. Then add half a glass of non-alcoholic beer. Mix with a wooden spoon and add the lemon.

Apply the mask to damp hair, massage in and leave on for twenty minutes. Then rinse with plenty of water. Use twice a week. Do you see? Beer is good for beauty too.
